- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
3.5
Fall down the BookSmutTok hole where 50 Shades meets old money senior school at Lancaster Prep, where enemies turn to hardcore lovers despite their families' objections.
Dark with darker sub-storylines, Monica Murphy builds the characters quite slowly as they show themselves to each other. Lots of adult themes and situations that are quite unrealistic yet fantastical to read and daydream about.
